The pressure cooker makes it possible for you to prepare great-tasting food in ways that save you time and effort. Pressure cookers aren’t a new phenomena. In fact, pressure cookers were especially popular in the 1950s. Back in those days, the typical pressure cooker had a noisy rocking pressure valve on the lid. But because a pressure cooker didn’t have an emergency mechanism in place to prevent the cooker from building up too much pressure, it had the tendency to have accidents. Today’s new generation of pressure cookers are much safer and easier to use. While every effort was made to create foolproof recipes, it’s impossible to anticipate every factor that can affect cooking times. For example, a pressure cooker filled with cold, dense food is going to take longer to come to pressure than one that has room temperature or warm food. Regardless of the cooking method, ingredients at room temperature will cook faster than those just out of the refrigerator, and even faster than those fresh from the freezer. So, while each recipe will explain how long the food should remain at pressure, it won’t state how long it will take that food to come to pressure, because it’s impossible to predict. Pressure cookers are perfect for those occasions when you need to do other chores around or away from the house, and the stovetop certainly isn’t practical even for the most organized master at multitasking. At these times, an electric programmable countertop pressure cooker is the more practical solution. Different methods will suit your needs at different times — even when it comes to pressure cooker practicality. Just like when you fix something using any other cooking method, adapting a recipe for the pressure cooker doesn’t mean that there is only one correct way to fix each dish. For that reason, feel free to alter, experiment, and play with the fifty recipes presented here. No pressure, though!
